And the apple pie leads the long weekend

Enjoying the long weekend with a visit to the masseuse then a baking experiment trying out my first apple pie:


I am so pleased with the result, all thanks to the recipe I found on allrecipe.com. The crust is super flaky and yummy. Only problem was that there's insufficient dough to cover the pie, and raisins ended up spilling out. It was my first ,so never mind the presentation.

Apple pie filling

Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 3 medium sized Granny Smith apples - peeled, cored and sliced
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 60 grams raisins

Butter Flaky Pie Crust from allrecipes.com
Ingredients
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup butter, chilled and diced
  • 1/4 cup ice water
Directions
  1. In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in water, a tablespoon at a time, until mixture forms a ball. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight.
  2. Roll dough out to fit a 9 inch pie plate. Place crust in pie plate. Press the dough evenly into the bottom and sides of the pie plate.
